Can DW-6 be used on GH-3?

[Nevin]

Hi, fellow Ricoh shooters,

I have recently been tempted by the Ricoh GR special edition as its price comes down to a very reasonable level following the depreciation of the Japanese YEN.

I am curious that if it is possible to use my DW-6 (wide converter for GX200) on the GR.

Thank you in advance for any other tips.

In passing, allow me to share a recent GRD4 shot as a token of thank or for your enjoyment.

The GR uses M49 threads on its adapter tube.

Thank you Phil. By the way, a further search reveals that the dust problem seems to be bugging the GR users as it was with the GRDI and GX users. A very unfortunate issue that greatly reduces the temptation. :?

What dust problem :?:

It was reported by some users that the sensor gathered dust easily as in http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51697598.

I have read posts of some users in my city whose GR had the dust-on-sensor problem within between a few weeks to just several months from the time of purchase.
